Can I find the product key associated with my hardware?

material that I was originally designed for Windows Vista 64-bit, but the product key is no longer available, and the Vista installation is not available out of.

Is there a way to know legally what the product key is related to my hardware in such a situation, or I'm completely out of luck?

Hello

At the operating system pre-installed (Dell, HP, etc.)?

If so:

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

They should do this for a fee, if they are still available.

The relocation method above does not normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

See you soon.

    Hello

    If you are unable to retrieve the product key provided with the system then Windows communicate with the system
    Maker.

    Look at the lower/rear part computer and tape or disks that came with the unit.

    If the system is still running, you can use these to access your product key. These are not cracks, they
    only retrieve your existing key.

    One of them allows to recover your machine if possible.

    Hello

    You can't find the product inside the Vista DVD key.

    Vista DVD retail are generic DVDs containing all editions of Vista and the product key is distinct for the DVD, but as part of the package you purchase.

    DVD OEM system manufacturers are the same.

    OEM Licenses pre-installed (HP, Acer, etc.) are the product key on COA sticker on the machine.

    My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.

    Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.

    If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.

    See you soon.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    I think that 90% of Toshiba laptops, you can find on the market come with preinstalled operating system. When you start it for the first time do NOT activate pre-installed OS. At the bottom of the laptop, you can find Windows sticker with valid license key.

    Maybe you bought for laptop computer without an operating system preinstalled. In this case, you need to install own OS and use the own license key.

    The question is: which model of laptop you have exactly and has your laptop comes with preinstalled operating system?

    For the correct answer, please provide more relevant information.

  • How can I find the product key for a specific OEM drive?

    Product key for reinstallation question

    I want to reinstall Windows XP on my Dell computer.  I have the oem disc, but it is mixed with the other two provided with two other computers Dell oem disks that were purchased at the same time.  The sticker on my computer displays a product key.  When I do a search for product key on the computer using a program key finder, sometimes with a different product key.  Which should I use and is at - there a way to find the product key on the disc?  Thanks for any help.

    PS. the unattend.txt to disk file is NOT the correct product key.

    If the drive of a Dell computer with the same edition of the OS, then you can use the disc - I think that each of them will have the same key as the one that is currently installed (and that on your sticker)

    Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

    (A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates.

    (B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side, bottom or (for some laptops) in the compartment of the battery from your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, when the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone.

  • Where can I find the product key for desktop Windows 8?

    I am trying to find the product key for my new hp desktop computer 8 windows. Where can if find it?

    With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

    If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

  • HP Pavilion DM1 - 4200sa: where can I find the product key Windows 10?

    Where can I find the Windows 10 product key for the upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8 to 10?

    Windows 10 uses 'digital right '.

    If you try to switch to 10 Windows from Windows 7 or 8 and try to do a clean install of ISO created media you find you need a product key that you do not.  The only way to do this successfully is to use the option upgrade of software downloaded using the tool of media Windows 10.  PC Worldhave highlighted that in Windows utility 10 as Magical Jelly Bean Key Finder or Belarc Advisor find the keys to generic product instead of faith.

    Windows Pro 10 key users will see KeyFinder or Belarc Advisor: VK7JG NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T.

    In 10240 build if you use the PowerShell script of Hexus forumson Windows 10 Pro he must fetch it: T44CG-JDJH7-VJ2WF-DY4X9-HCFC6.

    Microsoft uses now, apparently, a process called 'digital right' , which is stored in the BIOS so if you replace your motherboard, for example, your 'digital right' will probably disappear and will not activate Windows 10.

    So, before making any change sure to self-organization of backup!
